Also lol at that guy being natural - I also agree with sentiment here; I can see why people keep it secret or try to claim they are natty, but it's f**king annoying and gives natty people or supplement suckers a lot of false hope. The business of that expo and people queuing for the next best thing is he perfect demonstration of how much money is in an industry that preys on quick fixes and people wanting an edge in something they're passionate about...or claim to be.

That was the busiest expo I've ever been too. Couldn't believe the crowds and lines out the door, not to mention lines just to try samples of protein lol. Were you watching the IFBB?Another thing with steroids is, even people not that big can be using them and you won't know because the size isn't a giveaway. The people we see on roids and proclaim/question it are usually just the ones who have gotten huge with them. Plenty of users, in fact most I would say, only get to a size that is questionable but not obvious...unless you know the person and have seen how quickly they've gained size. Hell, a gym newbie could hop on a cycle and in less than 6 months be as big as me or bigger...then just maintain that size. That's exactly what happened when I was 19 and had been going to the gym for a few years...a mate at uni did a cycle and within 3 months was already as muscular, if not more lol...made me a little pissed off!

Easier to assume they are. If you're competing in an elite federation that's untested, along with the best in the world who can freely use, you'd be stupid not to. Even in tested federations, people do cycles off season. I think it would be possible to get that physique naturally, but you would need some pretty freak genetics for it and a long, long time. Or you could spend a couple of years on roids. I think most people aiming for that kind of size and physique would have no issues taking the quicker and more guaranteed way about it (and before anyone pipes up and says roids are still a lot of hard work, we know that, but try getting there naturally and see which is harder), plus mixing in with crowds of people who regularly use. I know of a particularly strength training gym where the question thrown around isn't whether you are on roids, but who you get them from. Which is why a lot of these people/gyms don't really like the natty/juice question because A. if you're serious about competing you will use, and B. the stigma surrounding the topic leaves people open to criticism from those who don't use / discredits the hard work in the eyes of people who don't understand what you still have to put in to get there. The problem is, even if you got there naturally, most people would assume you were on juice anyway...in which case there's no point doing it natural unless you're on some quest to prove it to yourself or are very anti-steroids.

Yep Can't guarantee that, but can guarantee there are heaps of lazy, uncommitted teachers who got through on a diploma and want a quick career in something they aren't particularly passionate about. Leesh has mentored quite a few teachers doing their student prac with her and it's always the diploma students who are the worst. May mean a potential shortage in future, but yes I'd expect the quality to improve. Really no different logic from making med students do 6+ years of uni.

That's good news hopefully then Just a semi box out job and hopefully it was just noisy and hasn't chewed away at the input shaft retainer, not that these are particularly expensive

You've kept quiet about that one until now

What did you expect...skip belongs to the neighborhood between 7pm and 7am

If it means me waiting more time to get in cause your car gets priority...hell no

Ordinally, I'd intercept here with an acute pun/expression derived from mathematics, but my obtuse, two-dimensional humour oddly does not appeal to the lowest common denominator, only outliers like Ric and even yourself...plus I don't want to be mean and ruin the mode, so I'll be a square and stay out of this 1. But I regress.

Sounding a bit vain there brah

Hmmm that one can sometimes take the input shaft with it, hopefully not yet and it's just on it's way out. Outside chance, but can also be a clutch issue. Thrust bearing another slight possibility if it's rattling around on the input shaft retainer because it's slightly touching the pressure plate (a good way to test out this one is to put a small amount of pressure on the clutch pedal so that it presses the bearing firmly up against clutch, but doesn't engage the clutch...if noise disappears then it's probably this. Otherwise input shaft / spigot bearing is your culprit. Might as well do rear main while you're there too.
-
If all gears and does it when sitting there in neutral with the clutch out, could be input shaft / throw out bearing or yes, spigot.If it does it in neutral, find out if the sound changes (louder, higher pitch) as you rev the engine...if so, then it's most likely the above. If it doesn't do it in neutral and the sound doesn't change with engine rpm then it will be output shaft or a diff.

Exceptions because Honda, pod and exhaust = maxed out modifications / count as stage 3

Whatever movie it's from corresponds to the stage; simple formula
-
I remember years ago standing in Chapel St, overhearing some wogboy talk about his VL turbo...no shit, I heard the words "stage 4 blow off valve" come out of his mouth
-
Green = stage 3, all other colours stage 2
-
Does it make the noise in all except 4th or in all gears? With the clutch in / clutch out?

Slip a ceramic button = gonna have a bad time Constantly dump an organic = gonna have a bad time Pick one to suit your application and a clamping level to suit your power, then ask the manufacturer how to run it in. After doing this, if it happens with multiple clutches, the only blame rests with the installer or the driver.
